Spring?

I think that Spring is beginning to creep up on us. I was so amazed when I was in Seattle 2 weeks ago that Spring had definitely "sprung" there: daffodils not only up but blooming, flowering cherry and flowering plum covered with pink and white blossoms.

We still look like winter here. I think everyone who gardens in South Central Texas is collectively holding their breath to see what comes back, what survived our 3 days of temps in the teens and what is irrefutably dead. (It's dead, Jim. Jim, this plant is dead.)

While I was in Seattle, my man relocated five rosemary plants from the retaining wall in the back to the slope in the front. I was mightily impressed: these plants had a 4 foot spread on them! It has been 2 weeks and they are still green! We planted blackfoot daisies and white lantanas to replace the rosemary in back. Pictures to follow if they survive.

Wish I had more time at home to take care of the yard work that needs doing, especially at this time of year. We should get spring break too!
